Bill > HB1154

This bill amends Tennessee's laws regarding self-service storage facilities by establishing new provisions for rental agreement changes and facility termination. Specifically, the bill introduces that if an occupant continues to use a storage space for at least 30 days after receiving a revised rental agreement (via hand delivery, first-class mail, or electronic mail) without signing it, they are considered to have accepted the new terms. Additionally, the bill outlines new rules for rental agreement termination, requiring owners to provide at least 15 days' written notice before an occupant must remove their personal property. The notice can be delivered by hand, certified mail, or electronic mail, and owners are granted the right to place reasonable restrictions on the occupant's access during the removal period. The bill also allows owners to dispose of personal property remaining in the storage facility after the notice period expires. These changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for both storage facility owners and occupants regarding agreement modifications and termination processes. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to conduct occurring on and after that date.
